Our Platform In Action

The first product built on our platform, Kamigami Robots, is a multiple award winning line that combines building, game programming, robot to robot communication, and thrilling, biomimetic motion. They have been called “a gateway drug to an engineering degree” and “the robot I never knew I always wanted.” The Kamigami brand was licensed by Mattel in 2017 and now encompasses two toy lines.
